Champlain Lakehouse
Spent the weekend here with my girlfriend and we both loved it! The house was very nice and the views were amazing. We like to cook and the kitchen was perfect for us and fully stocked with everything we needed. This place was perfect for a cozy weekend in Vermont. We enjoyed that we could travel into Burlington and that it wasn’t far away (about a 20 min drive). During our stay my girlfriend and I had made the decision to make a trip to Vermont each spring and to stay here in the years to come. Amazing place and perfect for couples! We look forward to next year!!

Full House 3 Bedrooms/3.5 Baths
Great place to stay with a group. Every bedroom had a full bath and kitchen was large. Because we were off season rate was good.

Cozy Mountain Home w/Million $ View
Super worth! We came here last week and loved it so much, we came this weekend too! Good dining recommendations from Daveo. He even saved us when our car was stuck in the snow! We truly appreciate his help. One million dollar view, one million points recommend! We'll come again next ski season!

Bluebird Cottage - Three Min to Sugarbush Resort
Colin's place was great for our Easter with our four children and two grandchildren. Location is convenient to Sugarbush and surrounding attractions.

Beautiful guesthouse -perfect for long stays
Very nice host !! Airbnb was very cozy and accessible, would highly recommend :)

Entire House. 2+ bed, 2 bath near Lake & bikeway
We had a nice stay for our son’s graduation from UVM. Plenty of room for 4 of us, Andria was very communicative and check-in a breeze.

Panoramic Mountain Views. Quiet, Private & Clean.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The house and views were so beautiful! Home was very clean and pretty much had every thing you need. She had toys and chairs for the beach for the kids which was awesome! Mary Anne was very accommodating when we told her that we had family coming through Vermont and let them stay with us for night! So great and grateful! Location is very peaceful and very well kept and would definitely come back and stay here! Thank you again for everything!

Cozy, safe, conveniently located, newly renovated.
Four of us stayed here for my daughter’s graduation from UVM. It was very close to everything and everyplace we needed to go. Instructions were very clear. We had an old house before so especially appreciated how well this one has been restored. The decor was tasteful and very artsy, which we love. Highly recommend this location!
Apartment rentals in Burlington

Lake Champlain Waterfront Apartment Rental
This was my second stay, and once again it was absolutely perfect. The host is incredibly kind and helpful—he goes above and beyond to make sure everything is just right. The property itself is straight out of a dream... right on the lake, peaceful, and beautifully kept. I’ve stayed at a lot of places, but this one feels like home—and honestly, it's my dream home. Can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, top-notch getaway.

Beautiful Sunny Apt. Close to Waterfront
Colin’s place was located close to everything near the waterfront. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at the end of a busy day. The coffee maker was a French press- which I had never used. Now I am spoiled and will be acquiring one for myself when we get home. Overall, we had a lovely stay.

Central Lair
Lori’s place was perfect- great location and very cozy. She thought of everything to make our stay pleasant. I hope to return to Burlington soon!

Phil's Place: Neat apartment close to downtown
Great host, the space has everything you need and is walkable to local shops and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay!

Newly renovated 2 bdrm apt in downtown Burlington
The apartment functions very well and the beds are comfortable. It was easy to come and go using the keypad, street parking was usually available, and if we could not find a space there is a parking garage right next door. We could walk to everything we wanted to do which was great. There is only one closet available in the apartment for guest use and there are no hangers at all which was odd. Also there is only seating for two people at the small kitchen table, so although there is a full kitchen you can't really have a meal for more than two people here. All in all however the apartment served us well and we had a great stay.

Lake Champlain and Adirondack Views
We stayed for a month and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Looked just like the pics (even better actually) and was squeaky clean! June was super responsive and very friendly / knowledgeable about where to go. SO MUCH to do in the area! Her place is walkable to just about everywhere nearby - safe and super quiet. Bed was super comfy and shower was awesome! Kitchen had everything we needed and the washer dryer unit is a powerhouse. The back yard views of the lake are to die for! We brought our bikes and rode the trails all over. Do the causeway if you have bikes (or rent them). June’s guide is chock full of amazing suggestions and she responds quickly with questions. LOVED OUR STAY! Thanks June!!

Downtown 3 bedroom, Close to It All
Very well-kept place with thoughtful touches. Super clean. Well stocked kitchen. Clean bathroom with extra toiletries available. Easy walk yo restaurants and the lake. Graduation weekend, so expensive but worth it. Enjoyed our stay.

Cozy Retreat near Downtown & Lake Champlain
Great place, very cute and clean. Very responsive hosts and easy access.
Other great vacation rentals in Burlington

"Beau Overlook" Enjoy 2 states from 1 great spot!
Where do I start...from before I arrived, up until my departure...Joanne was attentive in every way possible. All my questions were answered with an immediate response. The home was extraordinary. The effort Joanne has put in to making it just like home shows. With an abundance of whimsical touches. Up until the day I left, I would see a new thing. As if the enchanting home wasn't enough, the back patio is a place of serenity...with the sounds and view of the river extraordinary. I could go on and on, but I will just say, "it was the best vacation I have ever had". One word describes this Airbnb...AMAZING!!!🩷. I will return next year! Didn't want to leave!!! 😊 Thank you Joanne for your exemplary hospitality!

Beachfront Cottage on Lake Champlain, Colchester
We had a great stay, the home was comfortable and lived in which was nice for us and our small dog

Warm Luxury Mid-Century Modern Chalet
Sierra is extremely responsive, understands the ski mentality and very considerate of our group. Thank you so much, we enjoyed spending quality time by the fireplace and of course the super close by Mad River Glen access!!!!!!

Spacious Eco-Friendly Stowe Home for Family Fun
A beautiful Stowe getaway. The house has beautiful views of Mt. Mansfield, boasts plenty of space, and is in a great location relative to town.

Great For Large Groups with Hot Tub
Location was amazing. It was more than enough space for our crew of 10 and 3 levels of living space and made you feel like you were in a separate house. Its a super fun house for families that like to play games and enjoy time together. We never felt the need to leave the house to go out to a bar or restaurant. And although it was fully disclosed that it is a shared space, it was still a little weird to have people in other units that were attached and hearing them do their laundry right on the other side of your bedroom door.

Stowe, Topnotch Resort-Best Mt & Luxury in Vermont
This condo is a GREAT location if you're skiing at Stowe. Being able to make a right turn onto Mountain Rd in the morning (if you're familiar with Stowe traffic you'll understand what I mean) and be at the slopes in less than 10 minutes was amazing. And with the Topnotch Resort being on Mountain Rd, you're right in the heart of all of the restaurants and shops, too (the ever-popular Matterhorn is a very short drive away). The condo was spotless and cozy we all found the beds to be especially comfy. Overall, a great stay!

THE LAST RESORT
Our stay at “ The Last Resort “ could not have been better. The house is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The perfect place for a quiet getaway, with a great view of the lake. The location was conveniently located, we were able to do day trips to Burlington VT, Lake Placid NY and Montreal Canada. Thank you to Jacqueline and Tina, JR and Patty

Your guide to Burlington
Welcome to Burlington, Vermont
The state’s largest metropolis has just 42,545 residents, but packs a world-class punch with cafes, museums, a thriving arts scene, and year-round outdoor adventures, plus a renowned university. It’s also the first U.S. city to run on 100 percent renewable electricity.
Burlington overlooks the Adirondack Mountains and 120-mile-long Lake Champlain, which divides Vermont from New York State. But its heart beats in the downtown pedestrian mall of Church Street Marketplace. This national historic district protects buildings from 1820 to 1964, including architectural styles ranging from Italianate to Queen Anne, Federal, and Greek Revival, along with some Art Deco and Modernist outliers. But somehow it all works, anchored by Courthouse Square and an 1816 brick Unitarian meeting house. Nearby sprawls the Burlington Waterfront Park with its beaches, boats, and an eight-mile bike path linking parks and green spaces. Take time to linger in this eclectic community, which marries urban intellectualism with bucolic rural Vermont beauty and traditions.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Burlington
This lakeside city shines brightest from May to September, making it a popular time for people to book vacation rentals. The festival schedule bustles then, and the trees fill the area with lush greenery, which deepens into glorious hues perfect for leaf-peeping day trips to nearby Middlebury and Jeffersonville. Shoulder season isn’t the best in Burlington. April brings fewer crowds but often lots of mud. And November sees the city pause for a deep breath before the winter tourism onslaught of skiers and snowboarders. Events-wise, turn to February’s Lake Champlain Pond Hockey Classic and June’s jazz festival, followed by New England’s oldest and largest quilt event in nearby Essex Junction. Expect dragon boating in August, along with street performers for the Festival of Fools.
Top things to do in Burlington
Burlington Earth Clock
An art installation dedicated to peace looks like a 43-foot-diameter prehistoric stone circle on Lake Champlain’s shores. In reality, it’s a giant sundial that relies on visitors to stand in the central gnomon position and cast their shadows. It lies at Blanchard Beach, on the bike path just north of the popular sunset-watching spot of Oakledge Park.
Lake Champlain Monster Monument
What’s a big landlocked body of water without the specter of a massive, rarely spied serpentine creature? In 1984, the state erected a granite block on Perkins Pier just south of downtown to honor Burlington’s local legend: “Champ,” a prehistoric Nessie-esque beast. It even bears the cryptid’s pseudoscientific name, Belua aquatica champlainiensis. And just in case Champ really is out there, both Vermont and New York have passed laws protecting their lake’s most legendary monster.
Shelburne Museum
Eight miles south of Burlington sits a 45-acre museum celebrating Americana. Its founder celebrated everyday objects, from quilts to pottery and weather vanes. Eventually she began adding historic buildings to house these collections, including a lighthouse, round barn, covered bridge, and the Lake Champlain side-wheeler steamship Ticonderoga.
